On this page, various configuration \textit{bits} can be set. Use the cursor to navigate above the bit and press \LKey{6} to toggle it. Use \LKeyTab{} and \LKeyEnter{} to move quicker.
2020-07-15 10:44:59 +02:00
These bits are available:
\begin{tabular}{p{8em} | p{0.68\textwidth}}

\textbf{Please note:}

\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=1em]
\item Use keys \LKey{7} and \LKey{8} to set the baudrate used on the terminal serial port, it is shown in the lower right.
2020-07-21 15:50:44 +02:00
\item US/UK switch will replace \# with \pounds
\item The Ansi/VT52 bit is for VT100 compatibility, as it reacts to \texttt{ESC[?2l} (start VT52 mode) and \texttt{ESC<} (return to ANSI mode,
2020-07-22 20:01:21 +02:00
ie. ANSI/VT100 personality). Changing the personality to VT52 disables this bit, all other will enable it.
\item The bits for \textbf{bold} text are applied to text with the attribute \texttt{ESC[1m}.
2020-07-21 15:50:44 +02:00
\item \textit{ANSI.SYS Compliance} makes the cursor go home (\texttt{ESC[H}) on a clear screen request (\texttt{ESC[2J}),
and makes some of the lower ASCII characters (between 0x00-0x1F) visible.
